How do we know that Jesus intercedes for us?

Answered in 13 sources

Hebrews 7:25 confirms that Jesus is ever living to make intercession for us, which assures us of His continual advocacy before the Father.

The truth of Christ's intercession is foundational to understanding our relationship with God. Hebrews 7:25 states that 'He is able to save completely those who come to God through Him, because He always lives to intercede for them.' This profound truth highlights that Jesus, our great High Priest, continually advocates on behalf of believers. His intercession is not based on our merit but on His righteousness and the sufficiency of His sacrifice. This should give us great comfort as we navigate life’s challenges, knowing that our struggles are understood by the One who empathizes with our human condition. The assurance that He is interceding for us provides us with peace and fortitude in our spiritual journey.
